Paving Wiz lays driveways, patios, pool surrounds and parking areas across greater Cape Town, the Winelands, Helderberg and the West Coast. Installed paving starts at R230 per square metre for half paving and R320 for cement bond paving, everything included. We measure on site, quote in writing per square metre, and do the work ourselves — we do not pass your job to another contractor. A typical driveway is laid in two to three days. Our paving team has been laying paving since 2019.
What we install
| Job | Typical build-up | Installed rate |
|---|---|---|
| Driveways | Compacted G5 sub-base, 60mm pavers, herringbone, restrained edges | R300 – R420/m² |
| Patios and braai areas | Lighter base, 50mm pavers, pattern chosen for the space | R300 – R520/m² |
| Pool surrounds | Non-slip surface laid to fall away from the water | R380 – R650/m² |
| Parking areas | Deeper base sized to the heaviest vehicle using it | R320 – R490/m² |
| Repairs and re-laying | Sunken sections lifted, base corrected, original bricks re-laid | from R150/m² |
What it costs
A 35m² single driveway in standard grey brick is R10,500 to R14,700 installed. 50m² is R15,000 to R21,000, and a 60m² double driveway built to carry a bakkie is R21,000 to R31,000. Labour on its own is R100 to R200 per square metre. The full breakdown — pavers, labour and sub-base — is on our paving prices Cape Town page.
If a quote does not say what goes under the bricks, the sub-base has usually been left out. That is the layer you never see and the one that fails first.
How we quote
- Site visit. We look at the ground, the access and the fall before putting a number to anything. There is no charge for the visit.
- Written, itemised quote. Rate per square metre, sub-base depth, paver type and edge details all stated, so you can compare it against anyone else’s.
- One team on site. The people who quote the job are the people who build it.
Why the sub-base is the thing to compare
Two paving quotes for the same driveway can differ by thousands, and the difference is almost never the brick. It is what goes underneath. A quote that prices bedding sand straight onto soil will always look cheaper than one that prices a compacted G5 stone sub-base — and it will settle, rut and open at the joints within a season or two. When you compare quotes, ask each contractor to state the sub-base depth in writing.
Common questions
Do you charge for a quote?
No. We measure on site and give you a written price at no cost, anywhere in greater Cape Town.
How long does a job take?
A typical single or double driveway is two to three days on site. Larger areas and jobs where old paving must be lifted take longer.
Do you remove the old paving and rubble?
Yes. Taking the rubble away is included in the price.
Do you work on commercial sites?
Yes — complex and office parking, industrial yards and access roads, built to carry the vehicles that will use them.
What guarantee do you give?
We stand behind our workmanship. Settlement caused by a base we built is our problem to fix, which is why we do not cut the base to win a price.
